    2003/2004 Cobra Used

    I'm in the same boat you are in. I was trying to buy an 03 that had never been titled, but they wouldn't do it. You can only use it on a brand new car. Find an 04 at a dealer, and have your dealer go get it. That is what I am in the process of doing. I had one lined up brand new for $31.5...

    SpeedCal users please enter...

    I got mine from Dallas Mustang, and haven't had a single problem yet. I was skeptical when I bought mine too. I went in to their store and asked if it would fit a 94 or 95, and they replied "no". I came back to look at the forums again 'cause there are people on here that have them. I then...

    Need help with swapping 99+ GT/V6 front brakes on my Stang

    I don't think the 99+ are bigger than ours. As far as I know, they are the same size. What you are calling the part that holds the pads, is what I am calling the bracket. The banjo bolts from 99+, and the bolts that hold the bracket to the spindle, and the caliper to the bracket.

    Rear Defrost Delete question...

    My car was the same way. It has a delete for the switch, yet has the rear defrost window. The guy I bought the car from replaced the window, and I just thought he may have been a dumb*** for installing the more expensive window when he didn't have too. So, I'll give him half credit, 'cause he...

    Need help with swapping 99+ GT/V6 front brakes on my Stang

    Ernie, All you should need from the junk yard is the calipers, brackets, the banjo bolts, and all associated bolts. While I was at it, I bought a set of stainless brake lines too. It was a noticable improvement. As for the rotor, unless there is something wrong with your stock ones, they will...

    Roush 380R

    Hey guys, sorry it took so long for me to get these pics, but here they are. The quality isn't great either, the lighting wasn't right. Also, I was reading someone elses post about the price of Roushes. This one listed for $42K. I have seen them with a so called "market adjustment" at $53K...

    It is the eigth digit in the vin for engine, and the 01 Cobra should have a "V".

    SQ Vortec-->114k miles??

    I had an 86 GT that I put a Paxton, with 7psi boost. It had 108K when I did it. The car never let me down. When I sold it she had 150K, with no problems. I did take it to the track, but I wasn't there every weekend.

    seafoam engine cleaner, what vaccume line?

    I used the fuel pressure regulator vac line. I did it twice, and still have about a third of the can left. The first shot I was able to get it to smoke a little, but it really didn't do anything for me.

    Roush 380R

    OT, I just went to look at my friends brand new 2003 Roush 380R. All I can say is WOW, nice car. The only thing I didn't like about it was the cheesy Roush foot pedals. Other than that, very nice. I also never liked the Roush shifter, the way it looked in the magazines, but I must say, that...

    help me fix my knocking problem

    I agree with you 100% Hoof, I don't think carbon has anything to do with it. I think it is all computer.

    help me fix my knocking problem

    Hey NOS, not trying to steal your thunder. Just glad you thought of it. With the plate completely off on my car,it ran awesome. It had plenty of power, but it ran way too rich. I think I have mine adjusted perfect.

    help me fix my knocking problem

    Jim, see the black half moon to the right inside the meter? The metal plate usually goes all the way to the inner rim of the meter. I made a whole new metal plate, but you could just modify the one you have. I didn't want to cut on my original, in case down the line I actually fix the...

    help me fix my knocking problem

    OK, here goes. I did the mod that Nosfurato did. It was to remove the plate off the back side of the MAF. This mod completely cured my pinging problem. It did, however, make my car extremely rich, and my fuel mileage went down. Now, being an Air Force mechanic for 17 years, you learn a...

    Yes, I did up the pressure to 45 psi with the vac line disconnected. No luck.

    help me fix my knocking problem

    I was thinking, and my thought doesn't go very deep, but I am thinking it is a computer, or MAF problem. I replaced the MAF via C&L 76mm, but it keeps the same electronics as the stock one, so I can't rule it out. It, however, did not cure my pinging though. I was thinking a lean condition...

    Just for fun, RICERS stories here!

    My story begins about six years ago. I had an 86 GT with a Paxton S/C pushin a small 7 pounds of boost. I loved that car. It was sleeper to the max. A couple of buddies and I were driving along the gulf coast about 2 am, when a little white civic approached. We stopped at a light, and lined...

    help me fix my knocking problem

    Well, I read what Nosfurato did to his maf, and went out and tried it. I took the plate off the sampling tube in the maf. Went to run it and it worked great, then my check engine light came on. Went to the house and scanned it. Two codes came up bank one o2 sensor too rich, and bank two o2...
